The Flash: Story of Plasma Kat

Chapter 21: When Christmas Comes To Town!

"My name is Marianne Moons, the Plasma Kat. My boyfriend is named Barry Allen, he is the fastest man alive. When Barry was a child he saw his mother murdered by something impossible. His father went to jail for a crime he did not commit. Then an accident made both of us the impossible. To the outside world Barry is a normal forensic scientist but secretly he uses his extraordinary gifts to fight crime and to fight others like us. One day Barry and I will find who killed his mother and get justice for his father. He is the Flash." Marianne's voice says.

It had been 3 months in total since the night that Marianne and Barry decided to move up their relationship. In those three months, Marianne had been growing increasingly hungry like Barry. She believed that it was because of the blood that Barry had given her and from her using her powers when in reality, it was for a completely different reason, an internal and biological reason. Today, it was December, about a week before Christmas. Christmas music is heard as suddenly, the Flash is shown chasing red lightning coming from the Anti-Flash. They zip past a guy painting and then a giant Christmas tree in the center of the city.

"Flash, wait for me!" Marianne yells as she was riding on her bike.

"I'm not letting him get away! He almost hurt you! I'm not letting him get another chance!" Barry yells as he continues chasing the Anti-Flash.

"You'll get yourself killed! Let's face him together!" She says, "Maybe we can take his powers away!" She makes the turn they did.

"I'm ending this now!" Barry says. Marianne speeds up dodging cars and she puts her force field on cars as she goes by so she doesn't create an accident.

[One Day Earlier]

Barry and Marianne are shown sitting in the living room at the West House. Marianne is shown helping Joe with the tree and Barry hands Joe an ornament.

"There's only two boxes left." Joe says.

"You know, at this rate, we'll be finished by Easter." Barry says and Joe laughs. Barry looks up at Joe.

"Don't even." Joe says but Barry jumps up and uses his speed to decorate the tree.

"Okay, the only red-suited dude I want in this house right now is Kris Kringle, you got it?" Joe asks and Barry sighs. Barry takes what he did down and Marianne giggles.

"Awe, poor baby." Marianne says.

"I'm sorry your parents can't make it for Christmas this year." Joe says.

"Eh I'm used it. They are always on cruises to make money to take care of grandma. Too bad Grandma is being put in a nursing home. But it means I'm free spending Christmas with my sweet speedy." Marianne says.

"Did you just use the S word in my house when Iris is here?" Joe asks.

"She can't hear me I know exactly where she is." Marianne says.

"Okay where?" Joe asks.

"She's coming down the hall." Marianne says. Iris comes into the room with a tray of egg nog.

"Uh, these ornaments are not gonna hang themselves." Iris says.

"Mm-hmm." Barry says.

"Grandma Esther's recipe..." Iris says and when she offer Marianne her cup, Marianne just sets it down. Iris raises an eyebrow.

"And the Christmas tradition continues." Joe says as his phone rings, "Detective West. Yeah? Alright. Sorry, kids, the D.A wants to ask me some questions. Make sure there's some Nog left for me when I get back."
